THE FUNCTIONAL SELF-TEST
1. Plug the Battery Charger into a grounded, live wall outlet and connect the other end into the
receptacle on the back of the SmartMonitor 2 Labeled DC POWER. The CHARGER light on the front
of the SmartMonitor 2 should light and remain on continuously.
2. Insert the patient cable into the receptacle labeled Patient Input on the front of the SmartMonitor 2.
3. Insert the WHITE lead (RA) wire into the “RA” socket of the patient cable. Insert the BLACK lead wire
into the “LA” socket of the patient cable. Make sure that both lead wires are fully inserted into the
color-coded sockets of the patient cable.
4. Connect the lead wires to the Functional Self-Test receptacles on the right side of the SmartMonitor
2. Insert the pin end of the WHITE lead wire into the receptacle labeled “RA”. Insert the pin end of
the BLACK lead wire into the receptacle labeled “LA”.
5. If you are using the Remote Alarm, connect it to the REMOTE ALARM output on the back of the
Monitor at this time. Turn the Remote Alarm power to the on position. Each time the Monitor Alarms,
verify that the sound can be heard through the Remote Alarm and that the Monitor light on the
Remote Alarm comes on.
NOTE
When using a stopwatch, timing should begin after the power button has been pressed.
6. Press the POWER button to turn the SmartMonitor 2 on. The alarm should beep and all the lights
should come on for approximately 4 seconds. After all the alarm lights turn off, the CHARGER and
POWER light should remain on and within 15 seconds, the green HEART and RESPIRATION light
should be blinking. The lights will continue to flash for about 45 seconds.
NOTE
If the following lights remain on or are blinking, and/or the alarm sounds continuously,
corrective action should be taken before continuing the Checkout Procedure.
LOW BATTERY – The SmartMonitor 2 battery pack is discharged. Turn the SmartMonitor 2 off
using the correct power-off procedure (refer to pg. 4, step 5). Make sure the battery charger is
plugged into a live power outlet and properly connected to the SmartMonitor 2. Allow the
SmartMonitor 2 to recharge for 8 hours before performing the Checkout Procedure. This will
provide fully charged battery power.
FULL MEMORY – The SmartMonitor 2’s memory is 80% to 100% full. If the SmartMonitor 2 has
been used on patients, the memory should be transferred to a Memory Disk, then cleared using
the procedure described in the Professional Operator’s Manual.
LOOSE CONNECTION – Indicates loose or bad lead wires or patient cable. Check all
connections and/or replace lead wires first, then patient cable if necessary.
7. After approximately 45 seconds, the green HEART and RESPIRATION lights should stop blinking.
The red LOW HEART light should illuminate within approximately seven seconds after the HEART
light stops flashing, and the audible alarm should beep once every second.
8. Approximately 20 seconds after last Respiration detection, the Red Apnea light should illuminate.
(There should be no green HEART or RESPIRATION lights during this alarm.) When the APNEA
light illuminates, the Functional Self-test is complete.
9. Turn the Remote Alarm off.
10. Turn the SmartMonitor 2 off using the correct power-off procedure (refer to pg. 4, step 5). If the
SmartMonitor 2 is not powered off correctly, the “sibling” alarm will sound. Repeat the proper Power-
off procedure as described above until power is off.
